The Adventure Begins!

Pacifico Project: Hitchhiking the Oceans

What: A scheme to sail the world's oceans!

How: Lacking a sailboat, it only seemed obvious to hitchhike.

When: Departure set for December 28, 2007.

Where: The plan is to land in Panama City, then fly to Puerto Obaldia, on the edge of the legendary No Man's Land of Latin America, the Darien Gap, between Panama and Columbia, and begin hitchhiking.

WHY?! To seek pleasure in all it's worldly and wonderful forms, baby!

The Specifics:

• hit the beach on the Caribbean coast
  
• stick out my thumb
  
• find a boat headed north into the San Blas Islands
  
• sail towards the Panama Canal
  
• enter the Pacific Ocean and beyond!

In closing, I would like to thank my family and friends for your amazing support and encouragement!
Also, a HUGE Thanks to the crew at Pride Marine, who I consider as family/friends/quasi-sponsors! 😊

Now, after training for 19 months in Kingston with the specific goal of hitchhiking the oceans, it's time!
Ready? Set? Let's Go!

Clive, if you are landing on either Trinidad or St Kitts let me know and I will hook you up. My parents are still in Trinidad and my brother lives in St. Kitts. If you boat passes thru NYC give me a holla as well.

uniqe selling point
Hey clive (thor heyerdal), If you can´t get omboard with your charm and good looks alone, you can always use your knowledge as a vitamex king as a uniqe selling point. Throw in a box of beans and everyone will be convinced. Have a good one, dont swim with sharks too much. Lokking forward to hearing more from you. Aloha Rasmus
